'My Love' lyrics
I always able to write my way out
The song always made sense to me
Now I find that when I look down
Every page is empty
There is nothing to describe
Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky
I pray the trees will get their leaves soon
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does
I don’t know where to put my love
And when it came,
it was stranger than I had ever imagined
No cracking open of heaven
But quiet and still
All my friends are getting ill
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does
I don’t know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does
I don’t know where to put my love
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does
I don’t know where to put my love
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
This is the most "Ceremonials" song she released since that album and honestly for me it feels like coming back home
Still no Ceremonials 10th Anniversary...she didn't even acknowledge it
Bomdia
Felt like I hadn’t ‘felt’ in a long time til I heard this song: so good!
Ceremonials changed my life, I honestly used to listen to it everyday in middle school and it made me feel so much more than I could ever imagine. She is so perfect, absolutely divine in every Ames elf the wor
@@gabrielathomas8425 I also have a really personal connection to it from my time as a teen, so this here is equally new and nostalgic for me at the same time xD
Florence seems more artistically in tuned than ever! Love the lungs/ceremonial nostalgia, and I love that she’s doing a visual album like How big, How Blue!
th-cam.com/video/Pez2jS950O8/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/BrH9f-IWwlo/w-d-xo.html
*exactly Yes*
Totally agree!!!
So spot on about Flo portraying her Lungs & Ceremonial era!! 💃🤩
Lungs is my fave album of hers ✨ Her music is so beautiful
My favorite trait of Florence is that her lyrics are the most poetic and biblical pieces of prose, and in interviews she'll just chuckle and be all, "Yeah that one's about a real nasty hangover."
Even in writing songs about writer's block while in quarantine, she remains the same grandoise artist she always was.
"Shower your affection, let it rain on me
And pull down the mountain, drag your cities to the sea"
- What was that about??
- Oh nothing this random guy ghosted me
Love her
How can I write and sing like her?
Does anyone hear a touch of Annie Lennox in her voice?
This is why her and Hozier are two halves of one musical deity. #isaidwhatisaid
With this song, I feel like Florence is really coming into her own-the sound and grandeur of Lungs and Ceremonials combined with the stripped back intimacy of How Big How Blue How Beautiful and High as Hope. I’m getting chills! Can’t wait until May. Flo, you’ve gotten me through so many years of hardship, heres to another one, girl! ♥️
You found HBHBHB to be stripped back?
@@samjabbari9537 Are you kidding? Compared to Ceremonials? Absolutely! Haha. Like night and day.
@@Anonymous36 im happy someone blatantly puts it like that. For me, the last two albums were a huge let down. I'm glad she's back to her mysterious sounds from before!
@@Anonymous36 I honestly don't know how anyone can listen to Queen of Peace, Mother or What kind of man and think: "wow, how stripped back."
The only songs on that album I find stripped back are Various storms and saints and St Jude.
I agree it's not as epic as Ceremonials but that still doesn't mean it's stripped back, especially compared to High as Hope
@@anomalou Don't you think it's kind of a shame that you don't want Florence to evolve their sound? The fact that you can listen to a song and exactly know from the sound of it on which album it's on is one of the reason I appreciate them so much
This is a clear reminiscence to the Ceremonials era, she’s referencing her past and incorporating it into her new work, showing that she’s still the same artist, evolving and I love it so much 🧡🧡🧡
Yes, i love it. 😍😪
Exactly! I love that she is evolving and showing a different side to herself with each album, because that shows how much of a true artist and talent she is, yet she always remains authentic and doesn't hop on trends just to 'stay popular/relevant'. A true Queen 🙌💙👑👑👑
This song does give me old school vibes in an amazing way.
It's like she is adding on to “You've got the love“ in a personal contemporary manner. Even the rhythm is pretty close in the beginning, not to mention the scenery in the video, those table lamps.. Wow!
Edit: Sweet nothing, it is. xD so now I confused myself. :)
If you have the opportunity to see her live I highly recommend it. When we saw her a few years back it was electric, it felt like a religious experience
I agree totally! I saw her live! It was stunning! Like godness! 💞
YES! LIVE! She is the the best 💕💕💕
Agreed !! When I saw her live I couldn’t stop crying of so much inner peace I was feeling . One of the best experiences of my life !!
Seen them twice. Will catch her again this tour.
i’m seeing her live for the first time this yr and i’m soo excited!!!
I’m so excited! “King” and “Heaven is Here” are two of the best pieces I’ve had the privilege of hearing this year, hands down. Florence is a true inspiration and I can’t wait to witness her next visions - can’t wait for “My Love”!
th-cam.com/video/BrH9f-IWwlo/w-d-xo.html
*exactly Yes*
I'm just in love
Wasn't a massive fan of King, but this sounds great. Thanks for asking 👍
Can’t even put into words my excitement for this new album and era of Florence!
th-cam.com/video/Pez2jS950O8/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/BrH9f-IWwlo/w-d-xo.html
*exactly Yes*
And the Machine... Florence is just one part of the band
Thank you f.a.t.m admin 🇮🇪
My fave of the new stuff so far despite being the most conventional. It has all 3 hallmarks of great Florence.
1. Audible breathing
2. Notes sustained for impossible lengths of time
3. Choirs of Florences singing.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Mine might be Dream Girl Evil.. that songs brilliant and chilling. ❤️
I think "A Choir" should be made the official collective noun for Florences 😁
This is bringing me back to my college days, listening to Ceremonials in my dorm room. Florence has pulled me from the darkest of places. Her music means so much to me.
Me too 🙂❤
Yup. I seem to be a bit younger, Ceremonials was my Bible when I was 18-20 years old. I have one of her lyrics tattooed. Her voice belongs to my personal development as much as anything I have done myself.
Amen
Same!!! Ceremonials really helped me through my college years. Truly a masterpiece.
Right! Every album of Florence's is above the other music artists. She doesn't have a bad song. But I think Ceremonials is her best album.. then again that's the only concert I've seen of hers. Can't wait to see her again!
Since Lungs, Florence has always dropped albums when I needed their inspiration the most. This upcoming album is no exception to that. The last four years have taken a tremendous toll on me mentally, physically,and spiritually and I think my soul needs the music more than ever. ❤️
Omg FACTS!
She always knows when we need her the most 🥲🙌
i feel exactly the same way. Her music help trough the years and now again. I'm so glad she is releasing new stuff because i really need a help from her art right now. Heals me every time
@@stemorrissey
She’s my spirit animal in so many ways. It’s like she’s my soul from a former life guiding through the darkness of this life.
i genuinely feel the same
Florence is magical. This woman is pure talent like no one else.
The power behind her songs, it hasn’t waned in the slightest, I’m still getting goosebumps, I couldn’t be more excited for this album!
@Plugged Beats I get you're excited about your beats, but please stop spamming them on someone else's channel. Not that cool, regardless of how popular the channel may be.
this one reminds me a lot of lungs but renewed if that makes since?
The harp is back! This brings that unique Ceremonials aura, I’m so excited, this is such powerful!
The harp has never left. It was right there in “King” too. Sometimes I fear she overuses it.
I love the harp too!!
she used the harp in ‘lungs’ too
Harp is “The Machine”
@@felixmarques Only If For A Night...
Symbolic. Poetic. Dramatic. Grandiose. Nostalgic. Ceremonial. Just Florence at its best.
Lyrics:
[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
I was always able to write my way out
The song always made sense to me
Now I find out that when I look down
Every page is empty
There's nothing to describe
Except the moon sitting bright against the worrying sky
I pray the trees will get their leaves soon
[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Verse 2]
And when it came, it was stranger than I had ever imagined
No cracking open of Heaven
But quiеt and still (All my friends are getting ill)
[Chorus]
So tеll me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Post-Chorus]
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
And the billboard emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
And the buildings emptied
[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Post-Chorus]
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
And the billboard emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
And the buildings emptied

Florence has been on fire these
Days! Nonstop releasing these pieces of art!
th-cam.com/video/Pez2jS950O8/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/BrH9f-IWwlo/w-d-xo.html
*exactly Yes*
It feels like we have one more thing everyday, I love it haha !
I swear, if I ever meet her, I'll just break down in tears. I love this woman, this artist. I need to see her perform!!
I think usually it’s her who’s shy haha, when she’s not on the stage she’s just super shy and introverted
She’s powerful live! See her if you can!
I’ve seen her live twice and both times received a hug as she ran into the crowd. She is amazing and you’ll love her live.
I hope you see her one day and enjoy every moment of it.
me tooo
@@JOZI4KOZI Thank you so much! I wish she could come to NY but I will happily travel to see her. 😩♥️ I just need the money lmao.
Words can’t express how much I love this woman, each album is like a piece of art. I think this is my fave song so far.
Oh yess, I feel you!!
I agree 1,000%. This is my FAVORITE track off the album so far. It's already added to my playlist hahaha
I agree!! Definitely favorite song as well. And of course it's remix potential to hear it played in a club etc !!! The visuals if it all ..I really want to understand what the overall meaning and story is for the album
Like in this video referencing "The birth of Venus" by Botticelli (sp)
Same....
Giving me strong “Over the love” vibes from her Great Gatsby era! So excited for this!!
Exactly what I said!!!!!!
th-cam.com/video/BrH9f-IWwlo/w-d-xo.html
*exactly Yes*
Over the love and Shake it out! ✨
It reminds me of "Over the Love" & "Sweet Nothing"
true
Idk how she's doing that but her songs literally never suck.
She’s a real singer and artist that’s why.
Bist Du der Humbro?
@@Autovaz2104 Sorry I don't speak German
Right? She doesn’t have bad songs for me, just songs I’m less connected to
Florence + The Machine is the soundtrack of my womanhood. Every song is tied to a point and situation of growth, change, and a new self discovery. From Lungs until now she’s just so amazing! It’s incredible how music, though not always in the forefront, is part of our lived experiences.
cant believe this song is also soundtrack and testament for all survivors of covid.
@@aynosekeponer I’m a medical assistant in urgent care, and I’ve been working through the pandemic this entire time. Sometimes blasting music and singing at the top of your lungs is the only thing that keeps you from ripping your hair out and screaming.😂
Hi
One of the most engaging and incredible live performers out there. She puts it all out of the stage and in the audience every performance. She grabbed my face and sung what kind of man to me in Brooklyn and it was the most awesome experience ever.
Maybe I’ve seen it on TH-cam lol iconic
Love how it starts and ends looking like Florence's having a panic attack and then transists to intense music and lyrics.
Yet while she's singing she looks like she's kind of numb. Perfectly describes the whole quarantine feeling. Too many emotions yet no way to actually feel them
This is a clear reminiscence to the Ceremonials era, she’s referencing her past and incorporating it into her new work, showing that she’s still the same artist, evolving and I love it so much
I love these dancers. They are like the manifestation of the internal storm that Florence sings about. She's alone until her own chaotic energy joins her, and then she's swept away by it. It's so moving. I feel the exact same way.
The dancers are insane and I am loving how they have been incorporated visually into each masterpiece so far…flo’s wraiths, imagery and interpretation of art to each individual is unique….I love her. 🤍🕊🦋❤️💟👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gemini moon type beat 🌙
The dancers need more love and respect. So I'm happy to see that here. They're too often overlooked.
We are all going to give up to them. I swear. When I watched them crawl I just smiled. Amazing.
This makes a lot of sense. If you’re accustomed to chaos, stillness and normality can be terrifying. The world goes still, and the person here literally can’t function without the chaotic energy.
If I never hear her and Hozier collab I will die a lonely, soulless husk of a human. Her and AURORA, too.
The slow change of her outfit, King and Heaven is Here being so spooky and avant garde, then coming in with a jam like this and high class that just devolves?? How can someone be so constantly fascinating??
There's literally no way somebody couldn't love Florence, I'm convinced. She's a ✨goddess✨
Planning my funeral as we speak because Florence and The Machine are gonna kill me with this album
Same, I’m gonna be deceased.
So true but im not afraid because Heaven is Here
I hear Her Boy Builds Coffins
Yes thanks 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who’s watching 2024 ❤
🤗ME!!! 🎉
MEEE!!!
Meeee
Fifty five years old woman
Meeeeee❤❤❤❤
even the way she breathes is artistic 😭💖 I cant believe we went from getting maybe one single a year due to miss rona to getting 3 new singles and 3 full music videos in about a week 💗💗💗💗💗
i wonder if it's gonna be an visual album like The Odyssey/HBHBHB. I SO MUCH hope so
I absolutely cannot wait for further videos to see where the symbolism goes
Me too 😄
This one at least is about consequences of covid
How much more do you need? We are gonna be witches.
What symbolism?
@@royedwards51 for "My Love", at least, the principal theme is the impact of covid in life. We see people with no action, still musicians, open mouth people representing intubation- many of them did not survive. "My friends are getting ill": the lyrics are about the lack of "inspiration" to work in art while the world is collapsing, specially, for her, the art, escenical art world are paralyzed. she is alone, with her dancers falling one by one, struggling. She finally survived, as we can see in the heavy breathing end .
“My Love” is the third single from Florence + the Machine’s fifth studio album, Dance Fever.
According to a press release, “My Love” was originally written and recorded as an acoustic track described by Florence as a “sad little poem,” that recounts Welch experiencing writer’s block and having a hard time adjusting to a world shifted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The song was later transformed by producer Dave Bayley into the energetic track that it is.
Announced on March 9, only a day prior to its debut, “My Love” was released just three days after “Heaven Is Here,” the album’s previous single, accompanied by its music video and Dance Fever’s pre-sale. The song simultaneously premiered on BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast with Greg James.
Florence and The Machine:
"Sometimes the biggest dance songs, I think, have a really sad core to them."
"I wrote it I think in one of the first lockdowns, one of the really long ones. The poem I wrote was like ‘tell me where to put my love’, tell me where to put this feeling that I’ve had my whole life and if the stage and performance doesn’t come back I don’t know what I will do with this feeling, this sadness, the alchemy of dance music is turned into something so euphoric, and the release was exactly what I needed.
I remember the first demo we had going home and dancing to it alone in my kitchen, it just gave me a moment of release. It’s been a really nice bridge between a lot of old work, because I felt like a part of myself I actually hadn’t touched on maybe since Ceremonials, so it’s been really nice to then go back and look at older work and bring those back into the set. That song has been just an amazing bridge throughout all the songs in the last 11 years."
Listening to the acoustic version after hearing this one first is a weird experience though. Seems like this should be “original”.
@@juyla100 Thanks for sharing that interview. I've not heard that one. Love the image of Florence dancing to this song alone in her kitchen. I feel I could listen to her talk all day. She always seems so genuine while waxing existential or delving into the far corners of her very unique mind. It never seems pretentious or condescending to me.
Florence + The Machine also deserves an Oscar because of these ultra-splendid visuals & sounds. 💓🔥✨
She needs to curate a soundtrack for an indie.
@@LARKXHIN I can see Florence as an actress in an arthouse film.
The way her breathing alone can add so much context. Stunning as usual and I am just feeling so lucky to be one of the first people to experience her new music.
You know it’s a good song when the whole thing is “most replayed”
Florence is embracing what she wanted to show us al along,now she seems as she is becoming complete and articulating how she truly feels as an artist,mystic,religious person. She free now. ❤
I love the return to her roots, the three songs out so far truly sound like they're from the lungs/ceremonials era, can't wait for the full Dance Fever album 😍
This one? Not at all
@@Fusho11 It feels like it could be from the Ceremonials era, considering that era gave us the Spectrum remix and Sweet Nothing
@@alexferguson1139 those 2 songs, as you mention, do not belong to Ceremonials (Ceremonials sound nothing like this). This song is very different from any other thing Florence and the band have ever done
To me My Love sounds like a dance version of Queen of Peace
Seeing this video really changed the song up for me. I just went through a pretty rough depression/anxiety/addiction phase to the point my friends had to distance themselves for me. The song and the visuals just hit me so hard with everyone there but unresponsive, just like seeing my friends' lives on IG but never truly being able to talk to them. Never a place to put my love them. Thankfully we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have brunch with all of my friends in a couple days :)
Bravo Florence! It is like a fusion between all your previous records, yet so unfamiliar at the same time. I loved it.
I’ve waited to hear her in a disco sound for so long and I finally got it and it’s a masterpiece. Holy cow.
y’all forget about the sweet nothing collab with calvin harris
@@derekmahari8184 no I definitely have not. But that was electronic I’m talking about a disco pop moment
And we have Dave Bayley from Glass Animals to thank! 💕
Yes, this is an absolute masterpiece.
Have you heard the glass animals remix to this song too, if not go check it out this one and that one blow my mind here is the link below th-cam.com/video/BrV71YDVa_c/w-d-xo.html
This song deserve so much more. It is, easily, the best pandemic-related song of all.
"There's nothing to describe except the moon still bright against the worrying sky", "Tell me where to put my love, do I wait for time to do what it does?" and, the best one, "All my friends are getting ill" just like a casual backing vocal. Gooooshhh, florence youre such a gem.
the vocalizations in the beginning sound straight out of "over the love" omg. ceremonials is genuinely one of my favorite albums of all time, so i'm living for this. this plus the last two killer singles...i cannot wait for this album to drop. 😍
THIS!!
HEAVEN IS indeed HERE, MY LOVE. She is KING. Period.
Her music makes me so emotional.
This song too! I teared up listening to it...I don't even know why. She is the true epitome of artistry, beauty and honestly the only singer I find truly a master at what they do. Heaven is indeed here, my love. She is King.
Love how she listed everyone involved in this. Sign of a true artist.
I mean daily HITS!! I've never planned to stay up for a song release because I'm an ADULT ...until today
Love ya
th-cam.com/video/BrH9f-IWwlo/w-d-xo.html
*exactly Yes*
Another song? Am I dreaming? I feel overwhelmed, I’ve been thinking so much about you lately, Florence. My heart is racing.
One of the best songs ever created.
This song made me realize I did love someone two years after it ended. 'When it came, it was stranger than I could imagine. No cracking open of heaven, but quiet and still.' :(
ela n para, ela endoidou, ela ta lançando musica todo dia, meu deus continue
th-cam.com/video/BrH9f-IWwlo/w-d-xo.html
*exactly Yes*
E nós estamos amando!
a mulher está on fire caralho!
Ninguém segura ela!!!
A gerente enlouqueceu hehehe 😻
Wow, I love the references to Ceremonials as well as the sound of her first breakthrough, You've Got The Love. What an incredible range on the new album, just in the first three songs.
I don't know why but whenever I hear a Florence song I can't seem to breathe until the song is over.
Breathtakingly beautiful, overwhelming emotions that hit you on the first note with some healing factors mixed in.
Beautiful.
Thank you Florence for a wonderful experience.
I love this song. I don't know why but this more upbeat music with Florence's powerful voice always gives me energy and courage. Something that really helps me with my mental struggles. It helps me stand up for myself even though I am scared and it helps me too let my pain out without being overwhelmed. Thank you Florence and the machine.
Where I am,is a hard place in life right now,all my strength is gone. So for this new music I can say is THANK YOU! The artistry,the raw emotion,the power...just what I needed.
I understand, I agree. I feel so small, but not in these four minutes. I hope you feel better soon.
Stay strong my friend, you will be just fine
❤❤❤
As a visual artist. This brings tears to my eyes. It's nice to know that even the greatest can experience the frustration of one's passion.
Florence, somedays I feel like you saved my life
I love all this new music so much, I was a child hearing her on the radio and now I’m older and she’s making the most incredible art that I can better appreciate, love it, love her
I LOVE that she wrote a song about Writer's Block and her writing coming out to create something strange when the Writer's Block was finally over!! 🙌🏾 💖
live, her fans must go crazy at the start of this song. truly love Ms. Welch, this song. she's starting to hit her stride.
Apart from everything else being perfect, can we also just appreciate the semiology behind the dress she's wearing? In the beginning the tulle is in full volume, in 2:33 it's more stripped back and in the end it's only one layer and the gold is almost all gone.
I teach Semiology in fashion, thanks for the idea for my next class!
i think her hair is also tied to this symbol of time passing/change/unraveling. as it's neat and looks like long bob/shorter, and then comes out and is looks much longer at the end of the video.
@@tinseltina exactly
There’s a tied cape that is removed, it’s such an easy but perfect metaphor. Rodarte masterpiece! The colour contrast is perfect
@@castoputa buttom part of the dress lost volume as well
This disco feels like like the lovechild of How Big How Blue How Beautiful and Ceremonials and I'm here for it.
She is one of the most powerful and moving artists I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to
This is her ticket to the UK charts. FATM never seems to disappoint, always very surprised how she can pull of so many different things. ❤️
Techno version coming soon 😆
@@kevinkelly576 I am 300% sure that will happen. I can’t wait to hear that at a festival🤌🏼
Unfortunately I doubt Florence will reach high positions on the UK chart. She´s 35+. Just look at the current Top 100. It´s pitiful. The vast majority of the acts are very young, Many big singers and bands from the 00´s can´t even score a Top 100 entry anymore.
My Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was always able to write my way out
Song always made sense to me
Now I find out that when I look down
Every page is empty
There is nothing to describe
Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky
I pray the trees will get their leaves soon
[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Verse 2]
And when it came, it was stranger than I had ever imagined
No cracking open up Heaven
But quiеt and still (All my friends are getting ill)
[Chorus]
So tеll me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Post-Chorus]
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Post-Chorus]
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
Thank you for the lyrics, I was scrolling the coments just for find the lyrics.
To me, this is Florence at her strongest form. The song starts off with her longest note to date. The beat builds up, and the rest is an spectacle. This song looks to her past, and future. If this was the last song she ever created, she would have went out at the summit. (I hope she never stops making new music, this song is just so powerful)
She put her whole flussy in this album
craziest way to say the emotion but I feel you
This woman is amazing
i truly love florence since her shake it out and dog days are over era. She is so artistically powerful.
seeing that Dave Bayley (of, you know, freaking Glass Animals) was the producer in this song makes the peak Ceremonials vibes going on here make SO much sense and I am all for this brilliant return to form (but with the maturity obtained and explored through the last two records infused into it)
LOVE this. She's singing about her struggling with writer's block (an issue LOTS of artists, known and unknown, deal or have dealt with).
I also notice she's referring how the world (and hers, in a way) changed when the COVID-19 pandemic hit:
1. "All my friends are getting ill"-a likely reference to folks closest to her contracting the virus.
2 "My arms/skies/billboards/buildings emptied"-probably referring to her not being able to hug/touch anyone due to social distancing; airports shut down; artists/performers/entertainers not being able to perform on stage (hence her singing to a room of lifelike but inanimate mannequins. The mannequins standing in the back look more somber and...expired. Could they represent the folks who lost their lives to the virus or other personal struggles as the pandemic serving as the catalyst...?); buildings not in use or even closed due to folks working remote (or even lost their jobs) as a result of the pandemic.
This may also just be my overthinking the video: but I also think the room she is singing in refers to her being "stuck in the house" (it's the only setting in the video). Because she is in a place where she can't necessarily "move", all of the vices she struggled with (alcohol and/or drugs, loneliness, perhaps depression, uncertainties, etc) seem to be also conflicting with her "love", which could be a reference to her passion for music/art/poetry, and perhaps even her determination to stay sober.
I do believe the women dancing around her in the video could represent two things:
1. Personal conflicts and struggles she was constantly juggling during the pandemic to the point that it drove her a bit "insane" (cabin fever, or possibly making her a bit out of touch with interacting with folks. The temptation to relapse may have also been more difficult for her to manage during lockdown).
2. Her ideas that she couldn't seem to organize in her head (either music lyrics, or other creative ideas). I honestly do believe writer's block just isn't "not writing anything". You could have a plethora of things written down, but you just can't seem to organize them or have them make sense. It's completely understandable and relatable (another reason why I think folks are beguiled by her-including myself.)
I also noticed the way she's breathing during the video. At the beginning, it's pretty labored (possibly because she's anxious, frustrated or upset about something); at the end, her breathing is a bit more steady and calm-like she found her "center" of some sort, or perhaps even an idea has occurred to her (the lamps in the background in the dark ("empty pages"-ayyyyyyy 😉) could possibly represent ideas/song lyrics coming to her. Maybe it was this song. 😊).
The fact that she wrote a song about struggling with writers' block WHILE struggling with writers' block goes to show me how much she has honed her craft. She's simply magnificent.
grear analysis
And don't forget the hair. Starts perfect and changes to something raw and wild. Gives me a sense of discover and back to basics.
Society puts pressure and set what love should be, sometimes we need to break the rules
the heavy breath at the end, all the people immovilized with open mouths, are covid references. All friends gone, mouths open trying to survive the intubation. At the end, everyone is gone, her dancers fading away. She lives, heavily breathing, blackened out and giving out this song.
@@kixmix2450 thanks 😄
@@aynosekeponer Isn't it interesting how the most tragic or disheartening occurrences can be an influence to such an awesome record? I can't seem to find the exact word to describe how much I eerily enjoyed watching this tragically intriguing video and pulling it apart.
Despite the glitz and glamor of the video (which I believe, in itself, is portrayed as "artificial". Behind all the fancy clothes and being done up, EVERYONE is a mannequin (something else is layered there I think, hehehe...probably in regards to EVERYONE having to be on lockdown, despite their social status...🤔🧐)), there is an absolute heaviness and darkness to it.
Despite the upbeat tempo of the record, the lyrics are frustrating and sorrowful. Even with Florence saying she "hopes" the trees get leaves soon, she could possibly be referring to her clearing her writers' block or even the hopes of being able to witness a change in the weather (lockdown-March 13th from my own experience-occurred 1 week JUST before Spring Solstice (March 21). This lyric could possibly have also been a tongue-in-cheek retort as she is probably irate at the fact of being in lockdown and not being able to "see the daylight" or watch the weather change-another thing LOTS of folks can relate to, imho).
In the midst of tragedy, grief, personal struggles, any sort of ordeal...I do believe Ms. Welch is advising us to dance...wherever the hell we may be at 😊
This could very well be the "Shake It Out" of 2022, imho.
So, this is my interpretation to the concept of the video:
She has said in interviews that this song is about her experience with the break of the pandemia and the world affected by it. She was no longer able to perform on stage, and faced her first writer's block in a really long time. Music has always been an outlet for her and now, along with being isolated from her loved ones, she had no way to release from all those feelings.
In the video, she portrays a singer/crooner who desperatelly tries to keep her act together in front of an audience that is, despite all of her efforts, stunned by their own fear and angsty. It's a deep and thoughtful way to translate how we all have experienced those events, from different perspectives. Seeing it like this helped me understand better Autum's direction. At first glance I felt it lacked inspiration and the scenes were a bit lifeless, but in the end it makes sense with the story they were telling.
Pinpointed
I eagerly await this album, with such a feeling of joy knowing this will be in my collection soon, blaring from car speakers and something to play for years to come in my home. Such a beautiful, poignant, deeply aching and vibrational album this far. Full of the iconic power that Florence always brings.
This is absolutely magnificent. She never fails to deliver.
I love the way she always looks towards heaven in her videos. She is obviously divinely connected…..fabulous track and video 🥰
It's like I'm rediscovering myself through Florence's new music 💫💫💫
SERVING SPECTRUM VIBES 😍😍🥵
YES!!!!! 😁🙏😍💃✨✨
❤️
I was always able to write my way out
Song always made sense to me
Now I find that when I look down
Every page is empty
There is nothing to describe
Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky
I pray the trees will get their leaves soon
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
And when it came, it was stranger than I had ever imagined
No cracking open of heaven
But quiet and still (all my friends are getting ill)
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
💚💚💚💚🌄🌄🌄🌄
THE CEREMONIALS VIBE IS KILLING ME LETS GO QUEEN
yes!!
Seeing her in Herodion Theater Athens, at a time when we were unaware of the change that will come to us all in a few months, was a life changing experience. I feel her music and presence touches us to our most deep and primal levels. This song made me cry once more, moved me so much, because we all felt that stillness she is singing about.
She has that rare gift. The secret is emotional expression. She sings with love in her voice. As I always say sing like it's your daughter's birthday or don't bother. Florence knows the secret in the sauce.
Does anyone cry at the power that is Florence
Absolutely- Wish you were here… every time I cry. I love that song so much.
The first 40 seconds of this song is what I imagine it sounds like to wake up in heaven and finding that Florence is the first angel you hear
Florence can make you feel 1 to 100 real quick
It’s my birthday. Couldn’t believe I got a song so fitting as a present. This album is much anticipated. Thank you Florence.
Happy Birthday
Happy birthday!
Pisces power!!!
10th March? Mine too💜💜
A legend without compare, what a privilege to be on this planet at the same time, to watch these videos and hear these songs and read these poems as they release and not within historical archives
Those opening notes until the beat drop is so angelic
She needs to be given more credit because this is music at its finest 👌
florence helped me so much since i was a teen. and now when i feel like the world is ending her art is something that makes me wanna live.
Конец мира под лучший саундтрек
THIS is true connection to the source. You can feel it all the way through you. This has come from that other place, channeled through Florence so beautifully. Crying
The only artist i can think of who has stayed true to their sound and hasn't changed just to remain modern or popish sounding
This feels so much like spectrum or most of the stuff of ceremonials but more refined. It feels almost panicked but gorgeous and confident
On point on the panic feel! This is a song about consequences of covid, after all
I still don’t understand how can a song be this perfect and a video be this visually pleasing and amazing
[Verse 1]
I was always able to write my way out
The song always made sense to me
Now I find out that when I look down every page is empty
There is nothing to describe
Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky
I pray the trees will get their leaves soon
[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Verse 2]
And when it came, it was stranger than I had ever imagined
No cracking open of Heavеn
But quiet and still (All my friends are gеtting ill)
[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Bridge]
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
[Chorus]
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
So tell me where to put my love
Do I wait for time to do what it does?
I don't know where to put my love
[Outro]
My arms emptied, the skies emptied
The billboards emptied
My arms emptied the skies emptied
The buildings emptied
FLORENCE FANS ARE EATING GOOD THANK YOU QUEEN
Florence Welch is a goddess. All of their songs make you stop and say, "Whoa! What is THIS?!"
They have first given us an empowering anthem, then gave us a thumpingly furious chanting and now, they are giving us an electronic dance tune!
Dance Fever is going to be LIT 🔥
As always no disappointment. Magnificent vocals. Catchy beat with poetic words. And a very artistic music video on top. So excited for the album! It's fascinating to watch all the releases, interpret things as if seeing a story unfold.
Love this song. She is such a talent. Phenomenal voice, Literally streets ahead of the rest
This is a modern awards show. You can obviously see Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj in the pink wig. This is about being an artist and relating to other big artists
And my guess is that's also supposed to be Beyonce and Jay-Z and Adele in the front row.
This is an experience.
It’s a shame mainstream radio doesn’t play more of this.
3:12 that exclamation sounds so much like Lungs and Ceremonials. So glad she's going back towards the bombastic sounds again. HBHBHB was the best combination between bombastic and intimate she's had while High As Hope was too consistently soft for my tastes. It was pretty but there was none of the explosive high energy songs like Drumming Song, Spectrum, or Queen of Peace. June was probably the closest that album got but it was more atmospheric than bombastic. Glad she seems to be going back towards that HBHBHB balance!
